England A Continental Power: From The Conquest To Magna Charta, 1066-1216 is a historical book written by Louise Von Glehn Creighton and published in 1886. The book explores the period of English history from the Norman Conquest in 1066 to the signing of the Magna Charta in 1216. Creighton examines the political, social, and cultural developments that occurred during this time and argues that England was not an isolated island nation during this period, but rather a continental power with strong ties to the rest of Europe. She discusses the impact of the Norman Conquest on England and how it led to the establishment of a new ruling class and the introduction of feudalism. Creighton also explores the reigns of various English monarchs, including William the Conqueror, Henry II, and John, and their roles in shaping England's political and legal systems. Additionally, she delves into the cultural and intellectual developments of the period, including the growth of the university system and the influence of the Church. Overall, England A Continental Power provides a comprehensive overview of a crucial period in English history and offers insights into the country's development as a major European power.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
